#7 How to completely change the entire trajectory of your life: Eoin Dobbin Catto
Eoin’s story is a very special one and one I can relate to very much. If you said I was a weekend offender back in the day - You could say Eoin was a full-time mad b*stard hahaha. This man took the party boy lifestyle to another level.
From continuous anti-social behavior to completely changing the entire trajectory of his life - Eoin is now a highly successful online coach & entrepreneur living in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Expect to learn about the time he nearly ate the dirt due to a malfunctioning parachute, how skills are the most valuable asset you can have in modern-day society, and, how he spent 80K on online courses/mentorships over the past 6 years.
I really enjoyed this one - and I hope you take some value from it too.
